As all these heuer accessories are getting so expensive I have decided to pack all those boxes in the old reporter bag and put it in the bank...

: Hi Darren, just my 2cents as all regulars here are actually real
: experts (much more than I am) on Heuer boxes.
: Referring to the the most sought-after and famous Heuer boxes (the
: red one with the chequered flag all around the lower half), main
: reason why they are so hard to come by is that they were made of
: cardboard and so most of them have not withstood the proof of
: time.
: For the same scarcity reason, when they do show up they're
: extremely pricey and also those in not so good conditions fetch
: incredibly high sums.
: Earlier boxes are even rarer for, shall we say, historical reasons
: whereas sturdier, later ones (e.g. the late '70's - early '80's
: blue ones) were probably discarded by their respective owners at
: the time and are not so 'fashionable' as the red ones, so
: probably they don't tend to end up on the Bay. Still I am quite
: puzzled myself for the scarcity of the blue plastic ones, any
: idea anyone?

: Arno Haslinger's magnificent book on Heuer chronos has a whole
: paragraph dedicated to boxes, where you can find a lot more.

: Hope this helps.
: Cheers,
